So, we're on track for a daytrip to do a cool climb. I'm packed and ready to go, and then, the night before, she calls up and says it just doesn't feel right. Oh, really? The NIGHT BEFORE it doesn't feel right? Could you have told me the week before? But, she says, we could still climb in a group or something to get to know each other. I tell her, I basically know you well enough now not to want to climb with you at all. Somebody flakes on you that hard right off the bat? Yeah, no. I'm pretty sure she'd been tiptoeing around her boyfriend and then he found out or something and put the kibosh on everything. Besides the whole boyfriend thing - and no offense to anybody who subscribes - she's Christian, and, sorry, the last thing I'd want to do is get involved with that whole mess. I wanted to tell her, hey, this isn't about you, this isn't about you being a girl, this is about climbing a fucking climb! Get over yourself! I've meet all kinds in that regard. I did 2 day trips with a craigslist partner (didn't even know she was a she until we met in person) and everything was going well so we started planning a two day trip to WV. Come to find out she didn't own a tent so offered to share my two man (already assuming that wasn't gonna fly) and much to my surprise she agreed. Didn't even bat an eye. When I said something about having climbed with woman in the past who would have not been comfortable with that, she looked me right in the eye and said "I'm not worried about you, I've got mace".

I had to fly into Tulsa and drive to Joplin MO, and some guy gets on the radio. I'm a church going kind of dude, but I'm like, ah man, do we have to pander to the southern preacher stereotype? No, not at all. It was a car salesman. Dang they're all like that from there. Meh.

If you just "drop in" on one of those radio programs, it's often hard to tell if your learning about your everlasting salvation or being sold a three in one fruit juicer. Used car salesman indeed.

Unfortunately that trip never did happen because she wasn't comfortable having a partner who solos. Didn't want the personal attachment to a dead man walking I guess. I'll always respect her for that comeback though.
